Cold Case Cast Catch-up – July 2013

tracie_thoms_001_430x180 Since starting these regular CCCC-up updates it is clear that one person tends to dominate them: Tracie. The sheer number of differing projects she takes on, especially compared to her fellow Cold Case alumni, makes it unavoidable.

Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in Cold Case), or as we’re going to call her this month, the Award Winning Tracie (AW… T ) has been a busy girl again. She started the July with a trip to Aruba in the Caribbean. It’s a tough life. She was there with actress and stunt performer Zoë Bell (Alias and Django Unchained) promote the Raze movie that seems to have been around for so long now without an actual release. Zoe will be known to some of you, even if you don’t realise it, as Xena: Warrior Princess. Zoë was the stunt double for Lucy Lawless. This means that Zoë worked with Kathryn during her two episodes as Najara. Zoë and AWT spent an evening on a beach in Aruba giving stunt lessons to festival attendees. A chance to get their own back at some film critics me thinks

Cold Case S02E12 – Yo, Adrian HD Screencaps

Get it? It’s Lilly boxing! 😀 Never mind

We are at the halfway mark of KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2013 and Cold Case is wearing its movie reference on its sleeve.

Yo, Adrian (Cold Case season 2, episode 12) has the Silvester Stallone film Rocky all over it, far beyond the title being a quote from it.

The case involves boxers and the world of boxing. The crime took place weeks after the film was released (December 1976). Even some of the locations used for the Philly-based TV show and film are the same. A similar underdog vs. pro theme is used with the story about the death of a boxer shortly after losing badly in a boxing match. One of the characters even goes to see the film in the cinema! The deathbed confession of the match referee causes the case to be re-opened, that’s pure Cold Case.

Was this episode a knock-out for you? (Sorry! It had to be done)

226 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps from the episode can now be found in the Gallery.

Cold Case S02E11 – Blank Generation Full HD Screencaps

The year was 1978. Teenager Matthew Adams is a member of a cult. He killed himself. Or did he?

The KM UK Summer Of HD 2013 contines with Cold Case episode Blank Generation.

Keen to rescue their relative, the Adams family hired a person to extract and errr… un-brainwash him. Is “brain-dirty” a thing?

Nearly 30 years later Matthew’s sister comes to the Cold Case squad with new evidence. Lilly gets a surprise at home and Scotty receives some tragic news.

The Single Side/Layer Of Life

The Sweeter Side Of Life was released on DVD in the United States yesterday (16 July 2013).

The image on the right might be a “3D” shot of the DVD box but the actual product is a lot more one dimensional. Having got hold of a copy of the disc I thought I’d post an update so if you are considering purchase you’ll know what you are getting.

A comprehensive list of the contents of the disc is as follows:

The film

That’s it. Unless you count the main menu and the “scene selection” screens, which I know I don’t. There are no extras. Not even the Special Features video KM UK brought to you two months ago. To be fair, the packaging makes no claims of any extras, and doesn’t even try the common trick of adding the “interactive menus” to a back-of-the-box list of features. The thing is does add is further disappointment.

The DVD is a single-sided/single-layer disc, meaning it has a capacity of 4.2GBytes. The film does fill the available space. Extras would have meant sacrificing some picture quality or go with a more expensive dual-layer disc. This will be the approach taken with the two-films-in-one-box package with Meddling Mom reported on here last month. The only complaint about the picture quality that we are not given the option of a full HD Blu-ray version. What’s the point of using the 4K RED cameras for filming if you are going to shrink that down to standard definition sizes?

So, to sum up: The DVD of The Sweeter Side Of Life contains the film The Sweeter Side Of Life. To quote a higher intellect than mine “That’s all folks!”

The Sweeter Side Of Life DVD Released Today

Just a quick reminder.

The Hallmark TV movie The Sweeter Side Of Life, starring Kathryn and James Best (Roscoe P Coltrane in The Dukes Of Hazzard) is out today (16 July 2013) on DVD in the United States. The film first aired on TV in America back in mid-January.

Those that pre-ordered the disc it could very well have had it delivered this morning.

Details of US online retailers can be found in a previous post and KM UK’s review of the film can be found here.

As you can see on the right we now have a picture of the back of the DVD case. The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted the QR code in the lower-right corner of the image. Scanning it will give a URL which eventually takes you to a promo video on YouTube. It is the standard 30 second long trailer we are familiar with.

If you are getting to see the film for the first time remember to come back and let us know what you thought.
